    Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

    In the piracy community, status is measured by the quality and speed of one's work. Theirs is a community like any other, albeit with a different focus than many of us will find acceptable. The effort they go to is no different than gaining status in an MMO, after all. ;) - Ket

    WOTC ad - insulting to gamers?

    (Ket looks around and turns a light on. He smiles smugly and nods.)

    The market dying?

    Let me preface this by saying that while CMG, Malhavoc and Ronin Arts decorate my desktop, Green Ronin decorates my bookshelf (more GR products than any other non-WotC manu). That said, I disagree with you, Chris. I'm not saying game retailers are blameless. I am saying that they bear the...

    The market dying?

    So What? (I'm not arguing with Wings here, just responding to a convenient post about this.) I am all for the producers or sellers of low-grade product literally paying for their mistakes. If a small D20 company wants into the distribution channel, gets in, and has their product returned...

    News: Ravenloft back to WotC - and a FoS message

    Bah (or should I say "Baugh?") Folks, White Wolf botched these lines, Gamma World much worse than Ravenloft. GW, if anything, "muddied the waters" for GW in the future, essentially making a relaunch difficult at best, probably impossible for the next few years. - Ket

    [Iron Heroes] Magic oddities.

    So... Wiki? So did anyone end up setting up a Wiki for this? I'm pretty sure I read through the entire (painful) discussion on the Monte boards and saw nothing except "wouldn't it be cool if..." I mean, it sure would be cool if someone were to set up a wiki... cooler still if it existed. :) My...

    Good job, David Noonan!

    An open letter to David Noonan: David, I read your Sharn Inquisitives every week. I usually find them entertaining and a decent source of plot hooks for a prospective Eberron campaign. I generally take wacky stories from the Weekly World News and turn them into D&D adventures or "side quests,"...

    Flaming whip

    How about concluding that the fire does not harm the wielder? Anything else is speculation, not RAW.

    Flaming whip

    The way the rules as written read, a flaming whip is a type of whip. The only exception is that it is flaming. All whips deal no damage to creatures with +1 armor bonus or greater or +3 natural armor bonus or greater. Since the flaming enhancement clearly reads the whip deals an extra 1d6...

    Flaming whip

    Non-sequitur and irrelevant. We're discussing the rules as written, not the rules as we wish them to be. Don't be silly. :) A flaming whip deals slashing damage and it deals fire damage. However, it doesn't deal slashing damage to a target immune to slashing damage; it doesn't deal fire damage...

    Flaming whip

    You're not equating the same conditions. Is the quality you're trying to isolate one that's in addition to or restricted by the weapons damage? For that matter, what does it mean to be "restricted by weapons damage?" Regardless: Flaming: ... A flaming weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of fire...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    This post is probably better suited to Monte's meta forums... Thanks for replying, Monte. I wasn't aware that malhavocpress.com duplicates the montecook.com welcome site. That's an interesting choice - seems you'd want to funnel folks to the single site rather than pay to develop and...

    Flaming whip

    I can't recall the last time someone touched a mummy with a live, open flame of any kind and reported the results. I wish I had a LexisNexis (http://www.lexis.com/) account. However, I also agree with Hyp. By the RAW, he's spot on. And FWIW: At that point, the question is answered WRT the...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    Aside: Monte's Site? I used to visit www.montecook.com all the time - more frequently than ENWorld for a time. Since the top-level page turned into a huge graphic (loads fast on broadband, but the UI issues remain), I've visited fewer than ten times. Reasons: Much of my web surfing is done on...

    Tinkering with Eberron...

    Gladiators are easy Gladiators and their venues Aundair: tournaments are the center of festivals celebrating every possible event. Rural townsfolk gather for these festivals once a year, while cities host them once a month. Breland (Sharn): there are already towers in Sharn that offer...
